LoCa Knax Hook Rails

Coat hooks and racks are a necessary evil in an accessory-laden home, — but they needn’t ruin your decor. Knax (~$100+) retractable hook rails from Danish design company LoCa provide plenty of stylish wall storage when you need it that then folds away flush with the surface of the rack when you don’t. Available in vertical or horizontal wall models in a myriad of finishes including beech, mahogany, cherry wood, maple, birch, oak, walnut and teak — there’s plenty of options for matching your own aesthetic. We’d still recommend hiding your cape in the cave.

Winter is always a season for reflection, particularly when it comes to your personal space. An influx of family, gifts and food leave most wondering where it all went. Take advantage of the extended time indoors by reorganizing your living situation with these clutter killing solutions and remind yourself about just how good home can be.
